We are trialling the following 3 collections until the 30th November. Access the trials via DiscoverEd or our trials webpage.
The Cecil Papers is a collection of documents, principally from the reigns of Elizabethan I and James I/VI, privately held by the Gascoyne-Cecil family at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire. The Cecil Papers contains nearly 30,000 documents gathered by William Cecil (1521-98), Lord Burghley and his son Robert Cecil (1563-1612), First Earl of Salisbury. Occupying some of the highest offices of state in the land (both men were Secretary of State to Elizabeth I and Robert Cecil also served her successor, James), these two men were at the heart of events during one of the most dynamic periods in Western history. Further details can be found at http://media2.proquest.com/documents/cecil_papers.pdf.
Colonial State Papers offers insight into the colonial history of North America and the West Indies. It includes the National Archives collection CO 1– papers that were presented to the Privy Council and the Board of Trade during 1574-1757. More than 7,000 hand-written documents and more than 45,000 bibliographic records give fascinating insight into British trade, history and overseas expansion between the 16th and 18th centuries. Further details can be found at http://media2.proquest.com/documents/csp.pdf.

We have trial access to Classical Scores Library: Volumes III and IV until the 1st November.
Vol.III of Alexander Street’s Classical Scores Library series brings together 400,000 additional pages of in-copyright editions from composers worldwide. The collection provides editions from major publishers like Chester Music, Novello & Company, Faber Music, Wilhelm Hansen, Donemus, and others. It provides expanded coverage of great choral works and instrumental scores for brass, woodwind, and other instrument groups.
Vol.IV of Alexander Street’s Classical Scores Library series places particular focus on canonical contemporary composers from the 20th and 21st centuries. With many scores newly digitized for the academic market, or licensed directly from the composers themselves, music scholars and faculty will find Classical Scores Library: Volume IV to be a reliable source for authoritative scores of the classical canon, as well as a resource for the discovery and dissemination of lesser-known contemporary works.
Access this trial via the E-Resources Trial Webpage or DiscoverED where the first two volumes of the Classical Scores library can also be found – search for “Music & Performing Arts”
